The PHC roller chain from SKF is a power transmission component used to link toothed shafts and transmit motion with a constant ratio. It is used in equipment where loads must be pulled, mechanisms synchronized or conveyors moved. At MR Accesorios Industriales we distribute this line and help you identify the correct part number for your application.
The designation of the PHC series is read step by step: the number following PHC indicates the chain pitch in eighths of an inch, so PHC 40 corresponds to half an inch and PHC 80 to one inch. The next block indicates the number of rows: 1 is single. The suffixes WA1 and WA2 identify assembly or finish variants, and C/L indicates that the chain is supplied with a connecting link. That is why PHC 40-1-WA1-C/L and PHC 80-1-WA2-C/L are single-row chains with different pitch and assembly variant.
These chains are used in the food, cement, paper, textile and material handling industries. In Argentina they appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, packaging machines, mixers and transmission equipment in manufacturing plants. They are also seen in agriculture, in implements and dryers, where the dusty environment demands robust chains with good sealing.
To choose well, consider the pitch, the number of rows and the type of connecting link. Verify that the sprockets have the same pitch and that the alignment between shafts is correct to avoid uneven wear. Proper lubrication and moderate tension extend service life. If the environment has dust or moisture, evaluate variants with surface treatment or sealing.
Roller chains are interchangeable between brands if pitch, number of rows and roller dimensions match. It is not enough for the part number to be similar: the manufacturing standard and the type of connection must be compared. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you on compatibilities without inventing part numbers, always based on the designation shown on your equipment.
If you have the chain part number or the pitch and number of rows, send us the data on WhatsApp and we will quote you. At MR Accesorios Industriales we work with the SKF PHC line and other alternatives so you can find the chain your machine needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know which PHC chain pitch I need?
- The pitch is measured between roller centers and is expressed in eighths of an inch. For example, PHC 40 is 1/2" pitch and PHC 80 is 1" pitch. Check the sprocket pitch or the designation on the equipment plate to choose the right chain.
- What does the WA2 suffix mean in a PHC chain?
- WA2 identifies an assembly or finish variant within the PHC series. It does not change the pitch or the number of rows, which are indicated before it. To confirm the exact equivalent, send us the full part number and we will verify it with the available information.
- Can I replace a chain from another brand with a PHC one?
- Yes, if pitch, number of rows and roller dimensions match. Standard roller chains are usually interchangeable between brands when they comply with the same standard. It is still advisable to compare the full designation and the type of connection before replacing.
